I read a message about your brother and yourself having had a recent birthday last month? My nephew celebrated his 15th on the 2nd of March. He looks like a grown man now standing at around 6'3.
He's taken to multiple school teams participating in track, wrestling, and football. There is also the possibility of my nephew branching out into competitive swimming. We'll see how that goes.
Floral Mommy ® @wei_ying Yup! Our Birthday is on March 1st, and I wish a very Happy belated Birthday to your nephew. Ahhhh, he's so big! I don't know what they feed these kids nowadays lol, but my baby brother is also nearing 6'0" even and he just turned 16...but hopefully he's done growing because I don't think he's gotten any taller recently? Unless his body chooses to do a random growth spurt as he gets older XD. ————————————————————————————————————————————————
That's a lot of sports! I hope your nephew is having fun with them? My baby brother enjoys basketball the most, but he is a good runner and swimmer as well, we just can't put him into training cause we can't afford it, but only God knows what he wants my baby brother to truly do/be.
Gabriel @gabriel_true My sister is in the same situation. She's had to move 3 times in the last couple years because of rising rent. My nephew has had to fund raise as well as be scouted by professionals who see him going pro if he's willing to stay dedicated.
Floral Mommy ® @wei_ying I hope your sister is able to find something stable that works out for her, and I hope your nephew is able to do something amazing with sports if that's what he wants. Even if it simply remains a hobby, I hope he learns really fun things.
Gabriel @gabriel_true I believe he's enjoying his journey. My sister has a lot going against her in the form of health as well as finances. Still she's continuing to do what she can to provide for herself and her son.

Today was my brother's 50th birthday.
Gabriel @gabriel_true It was great seeing again him after about a year. He's in the same profession as me and his company now requires him to rotate his schedule after nearly 20 years of having one set for local State routes. Having to go further out of State is hard for someone his age.
Floral Mommy ® @wei_ying I'm glad that you were able to see him again, a year sounds like too long for me to handle if I were you, but, I thank God that it wasn't any longer than that. Depending on how hard it gets, is he thinking about retiring or just leaving that job for something else?
Gabriel @gabriel_true Probably work for another company that drives locally. He mentioned Sheetz offering $40 an hour to pull tanker.
Floral Mommy ® @wei_ying I hope all goes well for him then. ❤️

So glad to see this one getting continued. It was such a great story with really lovable characters, unlike some of the awfulness we've been getting lately. After such an emotional ending last time, right from the start it nails you with all the feels. If you haven't seen this one, it's a highly recommended series.

@gabriel_true Respectfully, don't nobody care about that old dead guy XD.
I'm kidding (kind of? Lol). The same can be applied to the bowl too, you know? As I said: "~perspective matters~", and obviously in Tzu Laoshi's mind, his bowl is most useful when empty.

A cup half full? Or, a cup half empty?
"A cup half empty!" Replies the pessimist.
"Nay, a cup half full!" Replies ever the optimist.
But I? I would ask about the circumstances before I saw the cup. What do I mean by that? What I mean is that this saying (in my eyes) is more than just who is a pessimist and who is an optimist. It's very easy for both to give the answer they gave...but why is that so? It's not that either answer is wrong, but it is very easy to make your own assumptions about something before you think to ask how that thing got to where it was.
Both answers can, on a technicality, be very correct.
Example 1: If someone were to drink from a full cup and leave half the water inside. That makes the cup half empty.
On the other hand.
Example 2: If someone were to walk by and see the empty cup so they fill it halfway. The cup is now half full.
This question is not to just garner the mental states of the person you ask it to, but it's a lesson to us all that circumstances matter and to not simply assume we know better just because we think we do. It's also a lesson in the very complex yet amazing mind of people.
As I said, circumstances matter AND they also change. One day you might ask the once pessimist the same exact question, and they now answer the glass is half full, but why? It's because people's perspectives change. Sometimes you're in situations that make you feel half empty, so it will be very hard to hold onto hope and easier to see everything half as empty as you feel – but on the flipside, you can also have seasons where everything is right and it's easier to see everything through a positive lense.
Let this saying be a reminder to us all that, no matter how each of us perceives something, we often have the choice to take a moment for ourselves and make our circumstances into something fuller or emptier.
Don't wait for others to pour into you, pour time into yourself.
So, will you choose to empty your cup or will you fill it?
